Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan, toss mushrooms, bell pepper and onion with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; toss. Spread evenly in pan. Bake 12 to 16 minutes, stirring once, until vegetables are tender.

Beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on high speed 1 minute. Stir in remaining 1 cup flour and the basil to form a soft dough.
